As always, a great video Tomo! For your clean playing, I really enjoyed listening to the red Ibanez! Also, I really appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge and wisdom in music and guitar playing. I find your work genuine, honest and very sincere and there's a lot more than just guitar playing that I learn from you through these videos. Thanks for the bottom of my heart :)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. Thank you so much!

[@sammurray879]

Tomo, love your approach to music and the philosophy of life! Thanks for sharing.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

My pleasure! Thank you!

[@witchdoctor7398]

Great sounding little amp... Even better sounding with a master of guitar on the other end.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@FunkymetalBL]

Cool little amp Tomo! You always sound great, and it’s cool to hear you play with distortion for a change of pace. We want to hear you shred like Nuno! 🎸 🎶 😆

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great to hear that! Let's do more distortion! Thank you!

[@imjordanbell]

Hi Tommy. Thanks for the video, perfect timing as I’m looking for a new amp to get.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Glad I could help! Thank you!

[@andrewcavese1387]

For me my Kemper is the perfect amp for practicing and gigs. You can use headphones or run it into whatever size cab you want and it's super portable.

Just bought the Fender Mustang Micro Amp (comes with 12 classic amp settings and 13 effects pedals built in) which is about 6 x 2,5 inches and weighs about 4 ounces and plugs staraight into the guitar with a headphone out socket and bluetooth. Not possible to switch effects pedals as quick as a foot pedal but excellent for practice (and the neighbours don't complain!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! Entertainment amp!

[@tonygriffin_]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Great fun!

[@tonygfromphilly4931]

The model you link to is a different one than you have in the video. The link goes to IBZ10B, but that one has no gain control. It does, however, add a mid eq control. For cleans it may be a little better than the one you have, which looks like it says IBZ10G on it. I can’t fid that model on the Ibanez site, so maybe it is forthcoming. Thank you for the great work and inspiration, Tomo.

[@OdaKa]

10B sounds like a practice bass amp

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I put a wrong link! I fixed it. Thank you! You're welcome!

[@tednugentlives]

I've dumpstered 2 of these. For tiny I use my Rage15, or a SLM crate GX20. The Roland micro cube is best for tiniest of them all. No pedals needed.For the ibanez, pop the back off for some bass improvement.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing.

[@ropehitch]

This dialing-in/experimentation process is extremely informative. You could do this again with a different amp and I will watch the entire thing. I play classical guitar and have been thinking about buying an electric. One of the largest barriers is the large range of gear that is available. Even if I had unlimited money to spend, I could not be assured I would buy the right gear for me. Great video!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! I will make more guitar amp demos!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@BlackinMind]

I love how your go to rock riff is Armed and Ready by Michael Schenker. I must ask, are you a fan? I credit your co-professor Joe Stump for introducing me to him way back in the day, he’s now one of my favorites!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I used to play heavy metal band in high school! So I played that song! I love the MSG! Joe is so awesome!

[@jamesmcghee3440]

I like my Spark and my old Roland Street (like the Cube but with 2 speakers and 2 inputs, one fir a vocal mic)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing.

[@BobEstremera]

Great content, as always. I am looking at modeling amps that have either 8” or 12” speakers. I play soft fingerstyle blues and some nice, mostly clean chord progressions. I play exclusively to low, bedroom-level decibels. I know that when you crank amps up, even a little, the larger speaker has a fuller, richer tone. But at the levels I play, just around speaking level or slightly higher, will I get a fuller tone from the 12” speaker or will playing at such low volumes negate any of the benefits of the larger speaker?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Doesn't matter about volume. Just different nuance & tone. I love vintage Fender Champ tone as well as Princeton or Deluxe. No negative or positive parts on larger speaker. It's full range and good!

[@katsunori.bb.kawai.6633]

Thank you Mr.Fujita. ❇︎Amp. sound making is very difficult. 😎

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes, it is! But I am trying

[@katsunori.bb.kawai.6633]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you Mr.Fujita. I’m trying too. (Inside/Outside, weather,Room size,Recorded,guitar setting etc….it’s difficult but fun.) Thank you,you always reply to comment.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Little practice amps I'm still a huge fan of the Roland micro cube. I think the reason I like rolland so much is because they own boss so those boss pedal qualities are incorporated into the built-in effects of the cube and micro cubes and you're actually getting the same people that build boss Roland.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! I have those too! Red & White.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I got the original black that was the only one they came in back in the day before they started branching out into the colors.

[@LifeSavingDefense]

THANK YOU for a Real video with speaking and explanation instead of just playing like many do. I’m looking for amps for acoustic electric guitars. I’m guessing this one is made for hard body magnetic pickup Electric guitars? Obviously I know just enough to get in trouble…. 😂

[@eprohoda]

dear,Omg~that is incredible done.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@stanphillips7277]

I have the Fender LT25 Modeling amp. It's not as portable and I'm probably not the best judge but, it's got 30 preset effects all adjustable gain, chorus, reverb, and delay. It's got the ability to download more effects through a USB port if there's an upgrade and you can save settings once you adjust it to the preferred AMO of delay or gain chorus or reverb. Tone knobs and a gain dial , even a tuner built in. But! You can't combine the presets like "Simulated Acoustic" with "Touch Wah" or "Thrash" . Touch Wah is a simulated wah effect but, I'ts dialed to one preset at a time (unlike peddles) so I'd prefer different buttons to a single dial that takes you from one effect to another. It was recommended as a practice amp and it was $125.00 when I needed something affordable (and for me, that was half the price of my guitar! A Squier Affinity SSS. Since that purchase in 2020 I'd have gotten an Ibanez AZ 30 (or today the AZ 40) but, okay I'm stuck with an Affinity which is a decent instrument (unlike the Squier Bullet which is a cheaper guitar in both definitions of the word 😂) so it'll have to do. I like this Ibanez amp though. I think Tomo can get almost any amp to sound good but, even in my hands I think it might be a good little amp if I had it to do over again. 😂 Thanks Tomo, I don't think I've ever heard you use distortion so that was fun , Black Sabbath came out as soon as you turned on the distortion. I used to have a "Park by Marshall" that was a simulated tube amp. I loved the tone but I've gotten used to tweaking and adjusting my LT25 Modeling amp so I have a guitar and an amp and I'm doing better than some people . Overall a good little kit but, my guitar needs a proper setup. I unboxed it and the intonation was off. Now I intonated it myself but without Allen wrenches I now have a well intonated guitar but the string tensions are all over the place. The 2nd string is more difficult to bend than the 1st etc . No continuity of string across the 6 . Thanks for the demo Tomo. Always a pleasure watching you unboxing. I hope Max didn't get covered by the box! 😂 🐈 ✌️♥️🎸🎶🙏

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing. I love this little amp! Very simple and EQ is very honest! You're very welcome!

[@stanphillips7277]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Yeah, Ibanez Az 30 and honest little Ibanez amp is a nice little setup! A perfect combination and another box for the cat to jump in and out of 😂 You need a second camera so we can see where the box lands when you toss it!

藤田さん, did you have a chance to try Fender Mustang Micro ? As far as practice amps go, this was the coolest one for me. I'm taking it with me when I'm traveling and if I need it on speaker, i plug it into PC speakers.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Yes. I prefer less knobs & less function over all. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Tomo Sensei. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and I appreciate your philosophy of Deliberate Practice. I would like to ask what is your opinion on using high quality headphones instead of speaker output? I often play in evenings and would like to respect the people around me. Is there any disadvantages of using high quality headphones as it seems I can still hear the details very well? Thank you

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Great question! It won't work well for practice. You cannot hear fingers & strings noises! You need to hear from the amp & from your guitar. Unless you can mic your amp & your room sound as you hearing ... then it can be good (?) So if you can whisper in your room, then you can play with your amp! Set a little low from your amp... low volume from your guitar, and your picking softer side. Thank you!

[@886014]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Thank you very much Sensei, I'm honoured and humbled that you provided such a considered answer addressed to me so quickly, as I'm so far away in Australia. Your advice makes good sense and I understand. I must learn to listen properly to the complete product and not just hear a note, I find that difficult. Difficult things are good. Very helpful. Thank you again.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@886014 You're very welcome! I teach how to reduce finger noises with triad exercises. Very important for me. Thank you!

[@886014]

@@TomoFujitaMusic I carefully watched some of your Triad videos and am digesting this now. I am now looking at daily practice routines appropriate for new guitarist (6 months) like myself, but I think no noise is important, only the intended music, so I now practice these Triads trying for no noise. Thank you. In my opinion Internet and technology is now amazing. But it is like a fire hose. So many very VERY good teachers with good information and courses. But we cannot drink from a fire hose, it's too much at once. I believe we must let the water fall to the ground and form a pool, let the mud settle until the water is clear and then we can drink water from the pool as much as we wish. But we must remember to stop to drink and not just look for more pools. Thank you.

Would this be good for a First Act student EG? Saw a slighter older model IBZ 10G at the local thrift - $35. Had no cable on me, nor the guitar, no way to test; it lit up but I didn't hear buzz or feedback like with another amp they had. I'm a newbie so I don't know much and I don't want to make too big an investment if I funk out.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So many choices. If you buy a really cheap one, then you want to another one with a little more so it's not bad idea that you can wait to buy something (for a long time) Planning & thinking (having more fun!)

Now Tomo… you know that in your heart of hearts that a tube amp is the best sound. A former student of mine built me a Fender champs style amplifier. All it has is one chicken head on top to control the volume. Hands-down one of the sweetest amps I have ever played. I greatly enjoy your videos.
